Brilliant video! This home is absolutely stunning, we've been documenting homes in Ireland for the past year and can honestly say this is one of our favourites we've found online!
The sustainable initiatives are commendable and the architecture interesting and finely crafted. However, is this a building with a shopping list of ‘sustainable’ consumables (potable water/grey/black water plant, pv cells, or were decisions made about the projects lifecycle and embodied energy? And what about eaves along the northern face to protect against the summer sun and reduce cooling/heating costs/energy or is it mostly shaded out at the moment?
Great point, but it wasn't merely an exercise in 'buying sustainability'. The materials chosen have no embodied energy and carbon emission, sourced as locally as possible, durable and avoids harmful chemicals and processes. So there is an inherent design aspect to the sustainability, definitely isn't 'greenwashing'.
Anthony, this is like a corner house in suburban Tokyo! idk where to start. Lemme gush abt d free flowing posterior design of d limestone cladding. I'm sure that stone will give cool breeze inside home. I love again d warmth of timber n stone combo u can see all thru out d house. It well accentuate d fixture n furniture at home. Making it very inviting. D inside-outside concept again was done properly with d help of d bay window and shoji doors[pocket doors] i love how d design to support d structure of d house that corners r cut by d bay windows. D sustainability aspects was good as well. The form of d house shows breeze coming in n out of it. The small skylights that help natural lighting around d home. D courtyard just give d home extra warmth from surrounding nature. Off-grid homes r essential nowadays. I always love homes w/solar panels. The rain catcher used from surrounding ponds and roof saves a lot of energy for misc bills w/ water treatment facility.
Thanks for the love, Noah. There is so much to love about this home, and I am a big fan of the timber and limestone material palette throughout. I was also blown away by the landscape design, and just how well done it was. Glad you love the video and home!
Great video! By far the best house presented so far. The exterior (which should have been the thumbnail - as I voted😁) already predicted that the interior would be spectacular. The angled walls and windows, the central courtyard and pond, the mix of materials inside and outside, it's all very good. It's living in a sculpture and not in a house. I wonder what the next door neighbor will think 😆
What an amazing home! 😍 I would love to see how sustainable building like this could be made attainable for lower income families. We want to do our part to make a brighter future for our children too.
This is a great point, because to go this level of sustainability does require money. At this present moment, I don’t see it attainable for low-income families, but perhaps when technology improves, costs can come down. The next best thing is have great passive design, good orientation, can cool the home through cross ventilation, rainwater tank and some solar panels.
@@SimpleDwelling thank you so much for your pointers! This is also an excellent list of research topics for me. You've given me hope that despite limited resources, we can still achieve a lot. 🥰
I find that using a stone and having in blocks like that looks strange when its on the facade and when it doesnt touch down to the ground, the logic of using blocks is to place them on on the other and they seem so strange without a solid felt visible foundation or connection to the ground. I love the shape of this biulding just the material choice seems off I guess.
Even in recent bush fires all the houses burn down to ashes..Houses main structure is made of timber and they also use timber inside as well . Wooden floors etc. How about concrete structures
Ytong or Hebel or AAC blocks are based on limestone but far superior then raw limestone and would have been in my opinion a much better choice for construction.
This is not a sustainable house. Its looking pretty nice but this is way too big for 2 people. The effort work and material that is put into this house is way too much to be sustainable not in 100 years of using it. But you can keep telling this to yourself if this gives you a better feeling.
Australian Architect....and sure enough...3,2,1 "Sustainability" "Climate Crisis" "Carbon" ......good design and good architecture will be all these things without the hyperbolic virtue signalling!

Beautiful home. My favourite part of the video was the Chinese elm tree.
Great design. Calm like a meditation.
I love the way that the mature Chinese Elm tree kisses the second level wooden facade. Can’t criticise any house that steps so lightly on this earth.
It was an existing tree as well, so it was designed to not only frame and show it off, but also protect it. I love that.
Very impressed with the sustainable aspects of this home. Aesthetically and functionally impressive as well.
That’s what I call off the grid living at it’s best!
What a stunning and inviting home love it!
So incredible proud of my son's knowledge, creativity and beautiful mind!
It was a privilege to sit with Diego talk about this project with such passion.
This channel should be called 'Never Too Big'
I’m curious to know, in your perspective what do you consider small, and big (in m2)?
Love, love, love
Would have been interested to see a couple more streetscape images to understand how the building looked in its environment.
Agree! The building looked quite bulky and it would be good to see how it appears in contrast to rest of the neighbourhood.
The living and dining areas are very thoughtful.
Amazing house. Great architecture and the limestone is truly beautiful.
I agree, the limestone has a wonderful texture and colour to it.
trully beautiful home. one of the home(s) that i even find the overall structure on blueprint magnificent. 👏👏👏💗
Such a remarkable house. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure, thank you for watching.
literal perfection.
Really great episode. Thanks!
Thank you for watching!

I'll be sure to check out your channel!
@@SimpleDwelling Thank you!
Well this is quite magnificent..I think this may be your best video so far.. wonderful 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Amazing!
Amazing project, very well thought! Love it!
Finally subscribing 😁.
a spectacular place to live in.

Really beautiful, I'd love for my own home to be inspired off of this in some ways!

I'm glad you liked the video and design! There is so much to love about this home, but what truly drew me in were the sustainable ambitions!
No, I love the current thumbnail!
Great episode, I’m very interested in the grey & black water treatment infrastructure.
I could ask the architects for more information (and put it in the website article), is there anything in particular you'd like to know?

Wunderschön
Wow and wow 🤩
nice design , nice video quality , slow camera can let me see all details

when he end up walking to this stair, its so big
I love the spirit of it. However I'd more enjoy a tweak to engage with the street.
Ground area is to small for that big interesting sculptural house.
Great design but at what cost? I would have been great to see from street level, it seems that the neighbouring homes are overwhelmed....
Even in recent bush fires all the houses burn down to ashes..Houses main structure is made of timber and they also use timber inside as well . Wooden floors etc. How about concrete structures
More sustainable than an 850 sq ft home that already exists?
Ytong or Hebel or AAC blocks are based on limestone but far superior then raw limestone and would have been in my opinion a much better choice for construction.
That's a beautiful house. But if you want minimum impact on the environment you need to build smaller houses and closer to the ground.
using too much timber in houses is quite dangerous in a bush fire......quite often in aussie enviornment
While a lot of the structure is stone, the threat of bush fire is incredibly low as it's one of Melbourne's inner-suburbs, Toorak.
This is not a sustainable house. Its looking pretty nice but this is way too big for 2 people. The effort work and material that is put into this house is way too much to be sustainable not in 100 years of using it. But you can keep telling this to yourself if this gives you a better feeling.
That Chinese elm is going to ruin that roof.
The "most sustainable homes", how does one even measure that?

Yuck. Like living next to a space ship that doesn’t relate to the street scape .. that’s an ego trip, good one
Amazing!
